Travel on Meriden buses is charged on a pay per trip basis. All students travelling on a Meriden bus must tap their student card as they board and alight the bus, and the bus fare is deducted from their smartcard bus account.

Funds must be loaded onto students’ smartcard bus accounts before students are able to travel on Meriden buses. This can be done in two ways:

1) Make a credit card payment direct to your daughter’s smartcard bus account via the Transport Me app.

Using the Transport Me app is quick and easy and also allows you to check your daughter’s bus account balance and view individual bus trips taken.

Transport Me can be downloaded for free from the App store (iPhone) or Google Play (Android).

OR

2) Call Meriden Business Services and make a credit card payment to your daughter’s smartcard bus account over the phone. Meriden Business Services can be contacted on (+61 2) 9752 9444.

2. With the exception of the late afternoon service to Hurstville, the School’s bus services are available for Meriden students in Kindergarten to Year 12. The late afternoon service is restricted to Meriden students currently in Years 5 – 12. Students in Years 5 and 6 who wish to take the late afternoon service require a gate pass. A gate pass should be requested by the parent via email to [email protected]

3. This agreement must be signed by parents or legal guardians and returned to Business Services prior to bus travel commencing.

4. The Bus Conditions of Travel and Bus Code of Conduct will be reviewed regularly and updated. The most recent conditions apply to all travellers and these may be viewed via the Meriden App.

5. Fares quoted are for use of the bus on all school days throughout the term and are inclusive of GST.

6. Fares are charged on a pay per trip basis. Students must tap their student card as they board and alight the bus. The fare for each trip is deducted from the student’s smartcard bus account and sufficient funds must be loaded onto the student’s smartcard bus account before travel. Each bus route has a termly cap for fares and at the end of each term, any amount paid above the cap will be refunded to the student’s School Account.

7. The bus service operates on Meriden school days only.

8. Students must be at the designated pick-up point at least 5 minutes prior to the stated time of departure. Buses cannot be delayed for students who are late.

9. Bus timetables and routes are subject to change from time to time and notification will be given whenever possible. The most current information will always be published on the Meriden App.

10. Any report of misconduct on the bus may result in withdrawal of the provision of the bus service to a student.

11. Parents/Legal Guardians must ensure arrangements are in place for the safe delivery of your daughter on to the bus and for their safe passage home from the designated bus stop. This is of vital importance for all students, and for younger Junior School students in particular.


Bus Conditions of Travel

12. Unless a safe prior arrangement has been put in place with the Head of Junior School, in the event that an adult is not present at the designated bus stop to collect K-Year 4 students, your daughter may be returned to Meriden, for later collection by the family.

13. If a Junior School student misses her bus stop, for any reason, the driver will continue to the end of the route and then go back to the student’s normal bus stop. We will attempt to contact the student’s parents or guardian to collect the student from the stop. If that is not possible, the student will be returned to Meriden, for later collection by the family.

14. Wilful damage to School buses or property must be paid for by the student’s family.

15. School families must ensure that both the School and the bus drivers are immediately made aware of any health or special needs of students.

16. Any concerns regarding your daughter’s welfare on the buses should be referred directly to the Dean of Junior School or the Dean of Pastoral Care in the Senior School. Welfare needs should not be referred to the bus drivers.

17. Meriden bus drivers extend courtesy to those they come in contact with, and it is an expectation of the School that courtesy and grace will likewise be extended to our drivers by all members of our community.

18. School buses will only pick up and set down at the published stop. No additional stops or variations to the routes are able to be made by the bus driver.

19. Failure to comply with the Bus Code of Conduct is likely to result in withdrawal of the service for a set period of time, or indefinitely should there be repeated infractions. The School reserves all rights to determine who is able to use the bus services.

20. Forms, bookings and other administration of buses are via Senior School Administration (+61 2 9752 9444) and Junior School Administration (+61 2 9752 9417).
